Rare Mt. Vernon Bach C Trumpet, Medium Bore 236 Bell- Boyde Hood Collection

Bach Mt. Vernon C Trumpet Medium Bore 236 Bell A rare Bach Mt. Vernon C trumpet from the Boyde Hood Collection, featuring a medium bore and 236 bell. The 236 bell is one of Bach’s classic C trumpet bell designs, known for a clear, focused sound with excellent projection and a brilliant orchestral character. Paired with Bach’s medium bore, this instrument offers a compact, efficient response with plenty of center, making it an appealing choice for artists who prefer focus and clarity over a broader, more spread setup. This trumpet comes from the Mt. Vernon period, one of the most desirable eras of Vincent Bach production. Instruments from this period are highly regarded for their craftsmanship, response, and individual character, and vintage Bach C trumpets remain especially sought after by orchestral artists and collectors. As part of the Boyde Hood Collection, this instrument carries important provenance from the holdings of a longtime Los Angeles Philharmonic trumpet artist. It represents a compelling combination of vintage Bach craftsmanship, professional lineage, and a classic C trumpet configuration. A fine Mt. Vernon Bach C trumpet with a medium bore, 236 bell, and the focused, brilliant character associated with Bach’s great mid-century C trumpets.
